A while ago Tris Hussey <\/a>sent me some info about the Qumana <\/a>editor. And I had the best intentions, really….<\/p>\n

But I never got around to it. A month or so ago, however, I reached my limit. The blog monster ate its final unsaved post in progress, and I realized I had better start using some sort of blog editor. <\/p>\n

Lucky for me, unlike my fellow bloggers Neville Hobson<\/a> and Lee Hopkins<\/a>, the only one I had to hand was Qumana, so I missed out on their less than delightful experiences with some of the other options. <\/p>\n

Turns out that Qumana was running a contest<\/a> that coincided with my use of the tool. Totally coincidental, but who am I to pass up a contest. <\/p>\n

We’re supposed to write\u00a0 "a creative post about your blogging landscape."<\/p>\n

Hhmm. Just exactly what does that mean? I guess anything you want. So I am going to tell you about what makes my blogging easier. And fun. Which in the end is why I do it. <\/p>\n

First, Bloglines<\/a>. There is no way I could keep up with everything I am interested in without a feed reader. Bloglines works for me.<\/p>\n

Second, TypePad.<\/a> I chose TypePad over Blogger when I first started my blog, and for the most part, I am pretty happy with the decision. I wish using Advanced Templates didn’t rule out so many of the simple widget things that TypePad has, but so it goes. Turns out I didn’t need to use an Advanced Template to do what I wanted when I made the switch,\u00a0 but too late (and too lazy) to go back now. <\/p>\n

Third, Qumana. Major plug here. This is an excellent editor. There are a couple of things that I had trouble with at first but it does everything I need an editor to do. Especially tags, which used to defeat me. Adding links to a post is dead easy, as is posting to multiple blogs from the single interface. <\/p>\n

Last, but not least, everyone I have gotten to know through blogging. You make it easy. You make it fun. You know who you are. Because if I had to list you all, I would inevitably forget someone. <\/p>\n

And my mum. My first and still most important reader. She laughs at my jokes, even if no one else does. I blog for my readers, and I blog for myself, but most of all, I blog for you, Mum. <\/p>\n
